    Don’t know why so many are infatuated with DK. He was ok in college but never dominated any game. He wasn’t even the best WR on his team. AJ Brown has great hands, good at high pointing the ball and has better body control than DK. Plus AJ is a better route runner

    Just feel AJ is what he is. A slot guy with minimal separation and has most likely peaked. Metcalf is a projection to elite receivers. Much more risk but much more reward.

    Well assuming there are no trades look at who's ahead of the Bills:

     

    Cardinals - I would assume they could go OL here, it was literally the worst in the NFL. They could go WR but their are some good value OL here.

    Indy - I think they go CB, I think they were going to go CB in the first round, this doesn't change.

    Raiders - Could go CB here too or DL

    49ers - They do need a WR1 but I don't think Metcalf is a Shanahan WR1

    Seahawks - Again, could go CB... I thought they would have taken one 1st round.

    Jags - OL, wouldn't this be funny everyone had them pegged for Taylor in the 1st and they get him in the 2nd.

    Bucs - Again CB or DL.

    So gotta get ahead of the 49ers, I could see Indy take a receiver and Arizona wouldn’t be too surprising with Larry Fitz talking retirement

    Yeah I think so. I think intimate knowledge allows you to know exactly what you are getting, which lessens the risk a lot and gives you what you need to know to make a proper offer. Meaning, I don't think you will overpay because you know exactly what the guy is worth. 

    I’m sure this has been mentioned but don’t we have someone in the FO from their front office prior? That’s gives us so much information. 

     

    If they feel like he would fit a 2nd definitely is worth it. I obviously don’t wanna give up a 2 bit he is a straight up game wrecker. Not gonna get that value in the second that is obviously already proven. Just makes too much sense. We have the cap space to make it happen. The Seahawks do not have any leverage at this point. Number 9 is way too much, 2 works.

    Ahhhh...memories of the regime that was here for 3 years and never had a QB plan...good times.

    Remember when he said he was a “riverboat gambler” for moving up two spots and taking TJ. Dohh!

     

    Saw EJ mentioned as a bust last night on NFL network as a bust and I think the guy was a former scout said he had him as a fifth rounder and another GM had him as a TE.

    The pressure stat doesn’t always tell the story though.. Sure it looks good as a stat but take Hughes for instance, he flies off the line and runs all the way around the left tackle to “pressure” the quarterback who takes two steps forward and completes a pass. Counts as a pressure but it doesn’t actually do much. It’s not in your face pressure like a Watt or Mack give you. Not dogging Hughes or clowney but that stat doesn’t tell much. I’d rather see the stats for QB knockdowns as that means they were actually close to a sack. I don’t follow Houston too closely but I do generally watch 3-5 games a year of them and clowney is mostly a no show in games I’ve seen. I couldn’t get behind bringing the guy in and paying him 100 million to line up on the same line as Hughes who has arguably been more reliable and better at a lower tiered salary. We can grab a pass rusher in rounds 1 or 2 who could match clowneys impact on a game I guess is the simplified version I should have just said 

    I can agree with that. What you think about Clark? I see him as a better fit in terms of rushing the passer

    I would seriously have to start doubting Beane if he acquired Clowney, oft injured and good against the run.. Kinda sounds like Lawson a little, only 100 million dollars more expensive. Clowney is not an impact pass rusher, however he is pretty elite against the run.. He also generally plays the same spot as Hughes in the 4-3 set and it’s not always effective to swap to the other side. He’s a good player, but he’s always dinged up (he does play through it generally) and hes wanting top 5 money as a defensive end. The reason Houston isn’t paying him is simple, they want to pay him as an outside 3-4 linebacker and he isn’t having it. I would expect him to play his franchise tag out this season and be gone next year 

    Clowney may have not had the sack totals of the other guys but he is great against the run and was 1st or 2nd in the league in pressures. I’m not completely sold but would get on board if it happened. May want Clark more due to compensation but not sure how he fits in culture wise

    This is certainly true but equally you have to look at how he has been used in Houston. Their bounty of pass rushing options does mean Clowney is not sent Quarterback hunting every time he lines up. Now the question (especially given the news that Houston isn't seeking a long term deal) is whether their evaluation is just that he isn't that good as a pass rusher or whether it is purely a numbers game.

     

    Essentially despite him being a number 1 pick and playing at a high level in the league for 5 years you are still having to do some projection about his ceiling as a pass rusher and that will make any team thinking of spending $18-20m a year on him nervous. 

    Agree. He is currently an elite edge run defender. Had 60 pressures last year. I understand some will balk at the money he wants and he won’t be able to live up to it. Kind of similar to the Mario situation but I definitely would not be opposed to the move but would want to swap firsts or something like next years 2nd and this years 3rd.

    Conditional 7th.  

    Yup, that’s where I’m at too.  His name is bigger than his game.  He is a better version of shaq Lawson.  That’s not worth $20 million.  Plus, he strikes me as a guy who would coast after getting a big deal, especially in Buffalo.  He’s the not as good Mario Williams. 

    Shaq Lawson? Don’t see it
